  summary: |-
    Experience and expertise: I am Director of the Childhood Cancer Data Lab at Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (https://www.ccdatalab.org/), where I lead a multidisciplinary team of data scientists, software engineers, and UX professionals. At the Data Lab, we build tools to make pediatric cancer data accessible, such as the Single-cell Pediatric Cancer Atlas (scpca.alexslemonade.org), and organize open science projects, such as the Open Pediatric Brain Tumor Atlas. I am a computational biologist by training. Historically, my research focus has been on leveraging large collections of transcriptomic data and machine learning in rare disease settings.

    Why I want to participate: My work depends on the broader cancer data ecosystem being interoperable, well-documented, and reusable, and I want to engage directly with NCI repositories and a cross-disciplinary group on the practical barriers to finding, accessing, and integrating these resources. I am looking to contribute and learn from investigators in the broader cancer space in a hands-on collaboration setting.

    What I hope to achieve: I hope to build collaborations across the cancer data community that extend the reach of open-science tooling and to help produce publicly shareable artifacts that others can build on. I am especially interested in joining a team where reproducibility and data quality are central to the problem.
